Polish regulatory, tax, and budget trends

Overview

Poland is implementing significant fiscal and digital tax transformations scheduled for 2027. The Ministry of Finance has extended the period without sanctions for errors within the National e-Invoice System (KSeF) until December 31, 2027, though taxpayers must include KSeF numbers or aggregate identifiers in transfers starting January 1, 2027.

The Sejm has passed a major personal income tax (PIT) reform designed to mitigate inflation. The 12 percent threshold will rise to 130,000 PLN, with a new 24 percent rate applied to income between 130,000 and 150,000 PLN, and a 32 percent rate for income exceeding 150,000 PLN. This is expected to benefit approximately 3.5 million taxpayers. Additionally, an amendment mandates the automatic indexation of tax thresholds based on inflation starting in 2028. To fund these adjustments, the government proposes raising the CIT rate for large corporations (over 50 million EUR revenue) to 22 percent and increasing the solidarity tax for high earners (over 1 million PLN) from 4 to 5 percent.

The 2027 budget project outlines a total expenditure of 977.6 billion PLN against projected revenues of 696.4 billion PLN, resulting in a deficit of 281.2 billion PLN. Key priorities include national defense and healthcare. To support these, the Sejm approved excise duty increases on alcohol effective January 1, 2027. Other measures include a sugar tax hike and VAT increases on certain non-alcoholic beverages. In October 2026, the Sejm passed an amendment to income tax laws that significantly lowers the revenue limit for the lump-sum taxation method (ryczałt).
